These creamy fettuccine with leeks and scallions is one of those dishes that will allow you to have dinner ready in just 20 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the recipe, like many others in this blog, from my mom. Always ready to experiment, one day she came with this pasta. From that very day, I loved it. When I had my own place, it became a staple in my kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Leeks<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love it because I love pasta and I love leeks and green onions. To bring their entire flavor, leeks and scallions are saut\u00e9ed in melted butter. To transform them into a great sauce, you just need to add cream, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom\u2019s recipe calls for green peppercorns, but I haven\u2019t seen them since I moved to Southern California (honestly, I haven\u2019t searched for them.) So, I have been using freshly ground black pepper, and it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recipe close to my heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I was in college these creamy fettuccine with leeks and scallions were also a favorite of my fellow classmates. They loved to come to do homework and hang out at my place. I bet my popularity was tight to the fact there was always a good pasta bowl available for everyone LOL! Along with my pasta <\/a>aglio e olio<\/a><\/em> this recipe was one of the best-loved. Truth to be told, it’s as flavorful as it\u2019s easy to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I make this pasta I think about my dearest college girlfriends. My beloved Gloria Majella and Argelia Merced, ended being journalists like me. This dish also brings memories of my brother in law Coco, who is part of my life since we were in our early teens. Coco and I became closer while attending la casa que vence las sombras<\/em> (the house that overcomes the shadows) as our beloved Universidad Central de Venezuela<\/em> is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Fettuccine with Leeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like this leek and scallion “sauce” either with fettuccine or linguine. Much better if the pasta is organic, made in Italy and crafted using the classic traditional Italian bronze plates. That is how picky I\u2019ve become when it\u2019s about pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
